Ingredients

  • 2 stalks of lemongrass (white and light green portions only)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 shallots
  • 8 tomatoes
  • juice of 1 lemon or lime
  • 4 bird’s eye chilis (or any super hot variety)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon shrimp paste
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 8 hard-boiled eggs
  • cooking oil for deep-frying

Instructions

  • Pound the lemongrass.
  • Peel the garlic.
  • Peel and cut the shallots into halves.
  • Plunge the tomatoes in boiling water for a few minutes to loosen the skins. Peel off the skins and discard.
  • Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree. Add more salt or sugar or both to suit your taste.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a wok.
  • Hard boiled eggs with chili tomato sauce
  • When the oil starts to smoke, add the hard boiled eggs and fry over very high heat until the egg whites are lightly browned in spots and blistered. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Take about two tablespoonfuls of the hot oil and pour into a sauce pan. Reheat then pour in the chili tomato sauce. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes or until very fragrant. Add the eggs. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for a few minutes.

      This egg curry recipe is very different from the one my mum use to make. We’re Burmese.
      How do you cook yours?

    I love eggs! We always include boiled eggs in saucy dishes like adobo, mechado and menudo, pandagdag rekado pa when on a tight budget. I would like to try this one, a dish of its own.

    I tried this one today… yippee what a relief from my old recipe, very fast and tasty.

    Try also to replace lemon with a squeezed diluted ripe tamarind in little water (a thumb size / used in Thai Cooking). Mine didn’t come out red in color so i put turmeric powder for color.

    I have this similar recipe learned from a Burmese friend and this is her version of an egg curry.
